From this reading Nay, but the stag which we desire to strike Lives not in Cowling; if you will consent, And go with us, we’ll bring you to a forest, Where runs a lusty herd; amongst the which There is a stag superior to the rest, A stately beast that, when his fellows run, He leads the race, and beats the sullen earth, As though he scorned it, with his trampling hooves.
